Tenderly 10 Dinghy Kit By Chesapeake Light Craft

NEW DESIGN: MAY 2017! Here's a beautiful 10-foot lapstrake dinghy that's capable, handy, rugged, and easy to build. She'll carry the groceries out to the mothership and tows without fuss. She's a first-class daysailer, and can be rowed long distances.

Tenderly is ten feet long, 52" wide, and will handle a 425-pound payload. The traditional interior includes floorboards and scuppered inwales. Rigged with a large, efficient balanced lug sail, she's sporty and responsive on all points. She also rows well with one, two, or three passengers, and moves nicely with a 2hp outboard.

We spent the winter trialling a matched pair of these and the CLC staff took to quarreling over who gets to go sailing. For pure fun in small boats, this is about as good as it gets.

Great. Just when I had convinced myself that a Passagemaker Dinghy was in my future, now THIS comes along! Thanks a lot guys! Got to start all over now. (Perfect soundtrack by the way)

Gonna build this beauty myself someday! Thnx for making this possible for me CLC! Greetz from Holland.

They look like the Swallows and Amazon dinghies! Very nearly a direct copy!
I like dinghies that row well, that have a rig that can be bundled out of the way and can take a motor. Multi-use all rounder!

The relationship between a boat and a human is romantic

CLC please offer an 18-22 foot simple open skiff for motoring and lounging with a deep V up front and strong lines
